A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline connections, featuring crisp, bracketed serifs that often sharpen into wedge-like terminals. Curves are full and slightly taut, while joins and entry/exit strokes show a calligraphic influence that keeps the rhythm lively. Proportions feel moderately compact in the lowercase with rounded bowls and clear counters, and the overall texture reads dark and assertive without becoming blocky.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book work where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads. It also performs well in short-to-medium headlines thanks to its strong contrast and sharp detailing, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The font conveys a classic, bookish seriousness with a touch of theatrical flair. Its energetic italic motion and sharp terminals create a sense of urgency and elegance, making it feel more expressive than a neutral text face while still staying within traditional serif conventions.
The design appears intended as a traditional, expressive serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly crafted, calligraphic flavor. Its sharp serifs, high contrast, and confident slant suggest a role as a refined text companion or an italic-forward display choice in classic typographic systems.
Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow, with strong diagonals in letters like A, V, W, and X that reinforce the forward motion. The numerals share the same high-contrast, italicized treatment and integrate smoothly with the letterforms, supporting mixed editorial typography.
